Like Turkey, large areas of northern India including the capital New Delhi will be in ruins! Pakistan will not be saved. Earthquake may shatter India’s neighbors. The source of the earthquake is somewhere in the heart of the Hindu Kush mountains in the north of Afghanistan. From there, the tremors will spread to Pakistan and India. Not imagination, such is the prediction of Dutch researcher Frank Hoogerbits. A few days ago, he announced that there is a danger of earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. After his announcement, before 72 hours passed, the two countries were torn apart by intense underground upheaval. Not only did the tremors rise to 7.8 on the Richter scale, Turkey was further shaken by at least 50 aftershocks for three days before the earthquake subsided. One of these aftershocks was only slightly behind the main shock in intensity. The death toll due to nature’s wrath is increasing every day.
This is also the case in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India Strong earthquake Frank looks apprehensive. Although he did not mention any specific day or area. “Some changes in the atmosphere are sometimes observed before major earthquakes,” the tweet said. But there are exceptions.’ In the first 20 days of the new year, several areas of northern India, including the capital Delhi, were hit by three mild tremors. So the situation is not very comfortable. But Kharagpur IIT professor and geologist Shankarkumar Nath says, ‘Turkey-Syria is the junction of these three plates – Anatolia, Africa and Arabia. So there is nothing surprising in the occurrence of earthquakes here.’ This geologist says, ‘The place, the specific time and the magnitude of the earthquake – if these three things can be said accurately, then only then it is considered to be an accurate forecast.’ Huggerbits claims that the position of different planets in the solar system plays a major role behind earthquakes. However, Shankarkumar did not want to accept this information – ‘There are various types of plate movement going on underground. These movements cause earthquakes. It does not seem to have anything to do with the position of the planet.’
However, scientists are already working on changes in the atmosphere before the earthquake. Director of Indian Center for Space Science and Astronomer Sandeep Chakraborty says, ‘The ionosphere starts to change before the earthquake. 24-hour surveillance is required by installing specific antennas in different parts of the country to catch that change. We are working on this.’ According to geologists, much of the country is earthquake-prone due to at least 11 plates beneath India. In such a situation, just predicting that there will be an earthquake in India is a completely incomplete prediction. Shankarkumar explains, ‘Calcutta has an Eocene-Hinge Zone four and a half kilometers deep. It is not unusual to have a 6.8 magnitude earthquake under its influence. It is not possible to move hundreds of millions of people on two days’ notice. Need suitable technology house building.’ According to geologists, there is an underground fault line on the east side of Delhi. But a large number of houses have been built in the area in the last few decades without following any law. Sandeep says, ‘Eurasian, Burmese and Sunda plates meet under Agartala. Earthquakes up to 9-9.3 frequency may occur in that region.’
